THT - RSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27,,1810. French and Dutch Papers have been received, the former to the 22d-, and she latter to the 25th *in stant they contain v,ry little news. B N A DOTTE has not ye! visited Sweden ; it is probable that he is waiting for a French army to proted hii person,— The Dutch Papers slate that the Engli-h army in POrtugal had retreated, and actually etnbarked : it appears from this statement, and these published by King MURAT, of the victories of his flotilla in the Dutch Pipers, that. BUONAIARTE favours his new subjeas with very accurate details of the progress of the war. Some G:lman Popers arrived this morning, bat they contain nothing worth notice. Some of the Papers of this morning stale, that ac• counts had been received Iron) Oporto, of Lord WELLINGTON having retreated, and removed bi g • heod-qu.irtcrs fom Celorico to Cei, where he meant to wait the ai:ack of the French. We cannot un dertake to give a positive contradiction to this state ment, but we enteitain strong doubts of the troth of it,. and we know that Government have not re ceived any such intOligence, AS some doubts weft expressed a few days ago in Morning Paper, respettmg the saftty of JEFFERY, thr seaman, we are happy to have it, in our power to lay b , fore our rea!ers a most decisive document upoh the MUbit2Cl, iz. the Affidavit of JEFVERY, sworn in the pr,senee of the British Consul at Mar ble-head; in A erica. A Morning Paper of yesterday, devoted to the eagse of the Opposition, in commenting upon the demand of BUONAPARTS to send 30,000 men into Zealand, contains one of the most extraordinary ob servations, one of the most whimsical illustrations of Party prejudice that ever appeared in print. After informing its Readers that the refusal of the King 'of DENMARK to let the French troops pass through Holstein will avail him • nothing, it confidently asserts, that all . the Ports in the North will belong ID BUONAPARTE j and then comoluiticates a piece of information which we confess is quite • new to us, and which we have no doubt wilt not a little amaze many of the persons alluded to, viz. that " all the seamen on' the River Thames are BUONAPARTE'S subjeas." The Paper then proceeds to say,' that " they must be wilfully blind who do not see to what all this obviously tends." and concludes with lamenting that, under tlwse circumsmances, our Naval atfa:rs sh{,uld be entrusted to the care of M:.YonKa. When a man is declared unfit to be entrusted with the direction of the naval affairs of the coun try. one would naturally suppose that he, was ob jeaed to because his talents were not equal to the discharge of so important a trust ;—or, because he did not possess the knowledge necessary for a Statesman, and was unacquainted with his offi cial duties ;—or because from indolence, dissipa tion, or any other cause, he was in the habit of negleming the performance of these duties; — or, finally, because his' moral character was such as to render him unfit to fill so important at' office. No such charges are, however, preferred or even insinuated against Mr. YORKE :—his lities, his knowledge, and his application are ad mitted, and his character admired, even by his enemies ; but still we are seriously- told that that Getalcnsan is wholly unqualified for preventing BUONAPARTE frbm marching 30,000 men into Hol-, stein, and gelling possession of all the Ports of the North, because—he Cleared Me Gallery P!

Yesterday a quarterly General Court was le.ld at the India House, when atter the usual i , ra the Court, on separate motions from Mr. Astell, the Chairman, contirMed the resolutions:of the Court of Directors, appointing Mornshee llu.um Uler to be Assistant Teacher in the Oriental Department, at the Artillery and Engineer Seminary, at a salary of 2501. per annum—and Resolved, That the ballot for determining the question acqt:ittiug the Comfnander and Owners of the ship Asia, born all imputation of neJe4.l or ink condila in respect of the losrs of that ship, be taken on Wednesday, the 17th of October next. Several accounts relative to the Seminaries, civil and niih tary, were laid before the Court, in compliance v, ith their resolution of the 7th April, 1809, and the titles read. Mr. RANDLE JACKSON moved that such papers be laid on the table for the reins il of the Proprie tors, and after dwelling on the benefits which would result from the benefit of the i .stitution of the seminaries to which those papers related, he taied, that on their perusal he might probably be in duced to submit to the Court a modification of the plan which &reefed the examination or Writers and Cadets - in oven Court, being inforMed t hat such examination pressed rather too hardly on the lime of the Directors ; and he hoped such mod.tica tion would be formed so as not to weaken the spirit of minute inquiry. The CHAIRMAN expressed himself gratified with the intention of the last Speaker; _ The CHAIMM4N then submitted a Resolution of the Court of Diteciors, restoring to the serf ice ti following Cadets, who were dismissed on account of ituproperly obtaining their appointmenis, Thu.. Kelly, for Madras, Geo. Toulon, John :Vl:insert, Rob. Mansen, Tho. Maw ; and moved, that such Resolution be confirined. The [notion having been carried in the aflirnid tive, the Court adjourned. Ye , terday a Court of DireMors was held at the East India Hose, when the uniierinentioned shif,s were taken up fur the ensuing season, and thus stationed, viz. Cumberland, Capt. T.

The Court adjourned at six o'clock till Wednes day next. We have received Corunna Papers to a late date. The only article of importance they contain is an order issued by the Marquis de la RONIANA to the army he commands, which is styled " the Army of the Left.". From the nature of its organization, and the number of corps mentioned, his force appears to he much stronger than we were lid to suppose it was. The van-guard consists of six light battalions and a regiment r.f the line, commanded by General CARRERA ; the first division two light battalions and right regiments of the line, commanded by Gen. GARCIA ; the second division two light battalions and seven regiments of the line, commanded by Gen. CHARLES O'DONNEL and the third di% ision three light battalions and six regiments of the line, commanded by Gen. BALLESTEnOS. The cavalry is not inclu(led in the above statement, but from what is already known respeding it, there is no doubt of its force being from 2 to 3000 men. Accounts from Vienna, of the da • of the 30th August, inserted in The Abeille du Ao. d of the 14th instant, announce the pregnacy of Napoleon's con sort, Maria Louisa, in the following terms : " The letters from Paris repeat, that the wishes of the Emperor Napoleon and of the French are ful filled; that Heaven has blessed their marriage This event has spread so much joy, that the inhabitants of the Luxemburg gave a village fete on the occa sion, which went off with the happiest effect." - The advices from Oporto say, that the whole gar. rison of Almeida, including both the regulars and the in;litia, had taken an opportunity of passing over to the British army. The letters mention, that the positions now oc cupied by the British army are stronger than those of its former situat ion. I►i the Yournal da Soir of the 19th instant, there appears the following advertisement :—" Madame BATHURST requests her husband, M. BATHURsT, if he has thought proper to conceal himself, not to delay pointing out the place of his retreat. M. BATnuttsi . m.►y be assured of the protection of the French Government." The unfortunate convia Wilson, who was exe cuted on Saturday, the Bth instant, at Horsham, tot a burglary in the shop of Mr. Gill, watchmaker, &c. at Rye, wrote a letter a few days ,prior to his execution to Mr. Gill, informing him in the most solemn manner ; that he had given three of the stolen watches, all new ones, to a corporal of the regiment to which he belonged, two to privates, and that two others were hid in a wall at Windier sea. He also stated that an accomplice, named Hodges, had all the rest of the stolen property, with which he deserted soon atter the commission of the robbery. In consequence of this information, Mr. Gill went to Dover, where the regiment then was, and endeavoured to recover some of his pro perty ; but the parties accused by the letter of the con .viCt, denied t. ver haVing had the watches; and all he has been able to recovef is two, one or both of which had been found in the wall at Winehelsea.
